This huge folio atlas is nearly three inches thick. Hardbound in green cloth with silver stamped title on cover and spine, 774 pp. The complete atlas contains a huge number of maps and plans, most double page and most printed on one side only. The double page maps are printed on a folded single sheet and tipped into the binding in the earlier style. The maps and plates cover the U.S. states, cities and countries of the world including a large number of U.S. city plans.

The maps are very good to fine. Contents generally very good but a few early pages are showing their edges. Covers are a little rubbed and soiled or stained.
